Zusammenfassung:	Normal electromagnetic waves (Beltrami wave fields) in a metachiral medium with constitutive equations in the Post form are investigated. The chirality parameter, and the permittivity and permeability are arbitrary real quantities. Expressions for the wave numbers and wave impedance of propagating, and also evanescent, plane waves are derived. Three regimes of the existence of a pair of forward and backward waves are identified.
